第八明攝化境界者，夫佛境無邊，順機各異，隨情廣狹見有差殊，非是如來分其量數，情微即境狹、量廣即境寬。若也智契真源，佛境彌綸法界，或見閻浮為化境、或見四洲以濟生，或見形滿大千、或見報身十海，如是種種。器有萬端，設教不同千差萬別，啟蒙始學憑准何依？略示五門識其權實，使得捨枝條而從本、返末而還源，速證菩提無令稽障。一人中見佛境界、二諸天見佛境界、三二乘中羅漢見佛攝化境界、四權教菩薩見佛境界、五實教菩薩見佛境界。

> Eighth, clarifying the realms of gathering and transforming. Indeed, the Buddha's realm is boundless; according with capacities, it varies, and in accordance with the breadth and narrowness of sentiment, the perceptions differ; it is not that the Tathāgata divides its measurement or number. When sentiment is petty, the realm is narrow; when capacity is broad, the realm is vast. If wisdom tallies with the true source, the Buddha's realm completely encompasses the dharmadhātu. Some see Jambudvīpa as the realm of transformation, or see the four continents as the sphere for saving sentient beings; some see his form filling the trichiliocosm, or see the saṃbhogakāya's ten oceans—such are the various forms. The capacities of beings are myriad, and the established teachings are disparate in a thousand ways and ten thousand variations; on what can a novice student rely? I shall briefly present five gates to distinguish the provisional and the ultimate, enabling them to abandon the branches and cleave to the root, to return from the periphery back to the source, and swiftly realize bodhi without delay or hindrance. 1. The Buddha's realm as seen among humans; 2. The Buddha's realm as seen by the devas; 3. The realm of the Buddha's gathering and transforming as seen by arhats among the two vehicles; 4. The Buddha's realm as seen by bodhisattvas of the provisional teaching; 5. The Buddha's realm as seen by bodhisattvas of the ultimate teaching.
